Speaker: Daryl Dorcy, Lobbyist and Genealogist
Topic: The Ancestors of Nicole Hunter Dorcy: Tracing our Roots
Visuals: Power-Point Presentation Used
Daryl Dorcy, born and raised in California, graduated from the University of
California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Political Science. He moved to Austin in
1968 when Interstate 35 still had a railroad crossing near the old Hancock
Shopping Center.
He began a 23 year career in Texas state government by joining the growing
staff of the Legislature. In the late 1980s Daryl worked for the Speaker of
the House of Representatives as his principle fiscal policy advisor. He is
now a state lobbyist representing Abbott Laboratories, a world healthcare
manufacturer, and continues to live in Austin with his wife Diana Hunter and
4 year old daughter, Nicole who inspired his interest in genealogy.
Daryl is a member of the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution
and the General Society of the War of 1812. His daughter, Nicole, has been
accepted for membership in the National Society of the Children of the
American Revolution.
"The Ancestors of Nicole Hunter Dorcy," will trace the initial spark of
interest in being able to tell his daughter where she came from, to the
"interim" publication of her ancestral genealogy. He identifies this
document as "interim" because it always requires updating. Along the way, he
will discuss exploding family myths and traditions, the joy of discovery,
the sadness of lost expectations, and the hard work of evidentiary proof.

Austin Genealogical Society Quarterly four times a year, monthly newsletter,
sponsors an annual seminar in August, bus trip to a regional genealogical
